The inside of my kennel. I think of a kennel as a place for the dogs to sleep, not live full time. I try to make it a warm and comfortable place to come home to. It also needs to be easy to keep clean and dry.

You can see a ceiling fan, that was something I thought to try to use to dry things out after cleaning and to help move air through in summer. It doesn’t work very well, don’t do it. There are much better alternatives out there.

I’ve tried about every kind of bedding for the dogs, blankets, wood shavings, straw. Tried different kinds of dog beds in the past and didn’t like them. I finally decided to try these Kuranda beds and I really like them so far. They are easy to move and clean, they are designed to be indestructible and so far they have been. They don’t look that comfortable to me but the dogs love them. I still put a blanket down for the older dogs but it really isn’t needed. If you’re looking for a good dog bed that can’t be chewed up I would recommend these.
